Don’t Sign That Contract Without a Second Opinion

Before you buy a used car, you take it to a mechanic. When you’re under the weather, you go to a doctor. When you face a dilemma, you consult a trusted friend. We’re all accustomed to getting a second opinion for the simple reason that we don’t know what we don’t know.

So, when it comes to negotiating vendor contracts for your bank or credit union, looking for a second opinion should absolutely be part of the process. A third-party review by experts who know the ins and outs of vendor contracts will give you reliable advice, along with confirmation for a number of significant concerns, such as:

Am I getting the best deal?

Am I getting the best terms?

Am I missing out on signing bonuses?

Are there other vendors I should be looking at?

Are other financial institutions negotiating more aggressively and getting better concessions?

Are you leaving money on the table? Get that valuable second opinion on your vendor contracts to confirm just how much you could be saving your financial institution.

Look to JMFA for that second opinion. One of the best things about the JMFA Contract Optimizer program is it’s 100% contingency based: if we don’t save you money, you don’t owe us a thing.
